Stability of meropenem and effect of 1 beta-methyl substitution on its stability in the presence of renal dehydropeptidase I.

چکیده
The stability of meropenem in the presence of renal dehydropeptidase I (DHP-I) varied extremely with the animal source of the enzyme. Meropenem, compared with imipenem, was rather easily hydrolyzed by DHP-Is from mice, rabbits, and monkeys, while it showed a higher resistance to guinea pig and beagle dog DHP-Is. In addition, meropenem was four times more resistant than imipenem to human DHP-I. The 1 beta-methyl substituent on carbapenems, i.e., meropenem and 1 beta-methyl imipenem, made them considerably more resistant to mouse and swine DHP-Is than the 1-unsubstituted derivatives are.

Stability of new carbapenem DA-1131 to renal dipeptidase (dehydropeptidase I).
The stability of DA-1131 to renal dipeptidase (RDPase) (EC 3.4.13.19) was compared with that of imipenem and meropenem by V(max)/K(m) ratios as an index of the enzyme's preference for substrates. Our results showed a decreasing order of imipenem (6.24), meropenem (2.41), and DA-1131 (1.39). The biochemical evaluation of DA-1131 as the least preferred substrate of RDPase suggests its potential u...
متن کاملThe pharmacology of meropenem, a new carbapenem antibiotic.
Meropenem, a new carbapenem antibiotic, is more active against gram-negative bacilli and less active against gram-positive cocci than is imipenem, and there are several important structural differences between meropenem and the older carbapenem. These differences may be responsible for the lower potential for the induction of epileptogenic activity observed with meropenem as well as for its inc...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of a new carbapenem antibiotic, BO-2727, with potent antipseudomonal activity.
BO-2727, a new 1-beta-methyl-carbapenem, was active at concentrations of 6.25 micrograms/ml or less against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including some imipenem- and/or meropenem-resistant (MICs, > or = 12.5 micrograms/ml) Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, against which it proved generally fourfold more active than imipenem and meropenem. BO-2727's antipseudomonal activity and its br...
متن کاملDFT Study on Oxygen-Vacancy Stability in Rutile/Anatase TiO2: Effect of Cationic Substitutions
In this study, a full-potential density functional theory was used to investigate the effects of Ti substitution by different cations. In both rutile and anatase, Ti atom was replaced by Ce, Au, Sn, Ag, Mo, Nb, Zr, and Y. Phase stability, electronic structure and formation energy of oxygen vacancy were compared for rutile and anatase. The results indicated that substitution of Ce and Zr increas...
متن کاملStudies on the structures of meropenem(SM-7338) and it's primary metabolite.
The structure and solution conformation of meropenem was examined by using 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments. Similar to the X-ray crystal structure, the close spacing of 1 beta-methyl substituent to the beta-lactam ring and the accessible conformation of C-2 side chain in relation to the carbapenem skeleton was confirmed. The structure of the primary me...
